Active Front
Free Speech
The First Amendment does not enforce itself. From campus viewpoint neutrality to statutes that criminalize political speech, this front takes government restrictions on expression to court.
The published record includes a merits victory at the United States Supreme Court and an Eighth Circuit decision striking down Minnesota's false political speech statute.
